What to expect from our Sports Medicine services

You will receive confirmation from your Orthopedic Clinic appointment by SMS and/or email. If you need to cancel or reschedule, use MyChart or call 800-305-4444 at least 24 hours before your appointment.

 Arrive 15 minutes before your appointment and go directly to the reception area to check in/register. Within five minutes, a member of our nursing staff will carry out a physical assessment and check your medical history with you. You will then have a wait of around 20 to 30 minutes before meeting your physician.

 Your meeting with the physician will last about 20 minutes, and will give us a chance to talk through how things will progress, and set out a personalized treatment plan. We may be able to provide a diagnosis at this first visit, but additional testing is often needed.

Some tests can be done on the same day, while others might need a separate appointment or special preparation. Before you leave, the team will give you detailed instructions about what will happen next. If you need surgery, your surgeon will arrange it.
